Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is visiting Amman for talks with Jordan’s king, days after hosting Arab and Islamic leaders at an emergency summit that condemned Israel’s recent attack on Doha.

The Qatari leader landed on Wednesday in Jordan’s capital, where he will be received by King Abdullah II, Crown Prince Hussein Abdullah and senior Jordanian officials.

The visit is the emir’s first since the Israeli military struck a residential area in Doha on September 9, killing six people in what the emir called a “blatant, treacherous and cowardly” attack against Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) pledged at Monday’s summit to “activate a joint defence mechanism”, the most actionable result of the meeting.
